I pelt bad:
I typed in a fever
'Twas writer's beaver
My plot was in a jam
I couldn't have that
so I made a new hat
of felt
I don't give a damn

No way! I'm holding it hostage until my writer's beaver wears off.

We've already heard all the jokes.

Her beaver worked wonders with wood,
& had a pretty hood.
But I'm told by my nose

& petting, if it's good.

)
I'm not ashamed of any of the beavers in my life. (Except, maybe, that one in Florida that
might have been over-intoxicated.)
